i would love to see an auto smelt addon for the drills :)

This gives me a reason to, again, have to touch the awful Drill code from about 1,5 years ago and consider rewriting it all. So thanks for that.
But I like the suggestion, so I'll try to do it :P

well if i knew java well enough i would help but i dont sorry :(

You could "borrow" some ideas from Tinkers I'm how they handle it. Seems to work pretty well.

What is the point of auto-smelt? It seems cool at first, but you should definitely crush your ores to double them, and auto-smelt makes this impossible. I unintentionally ruined a great pickaxe of mine by adding the Auto-Smelt achievement to it (Auto-Smelt is added by one of the mods I use, but I have no idea which).

well actually if you look into auto-smelt with the use of fortune you can make alot more than you can by just crushing the ore to double it just FYI

I've decided to stop taking suggestions on this issue tracker. As I don't work on Actually Additions myself anymore and Shadows only maintains the mod, I don't see why they would stick around here cluttering it even though they'll probably never see the light of day.
